Teaching Students to Identify False Information They Find On The Internet
This program is designed to help students identify false information on the internet. It is easy for educators to give them reliable sources for good information, but what about the time they spend without supervision on social media? We will help them to develop the critical thinking skills required to analyze what they are seeing. This will be the same presentation as given to children in classrooms so attendees can hear the discussions and directions given to students.

Purposeful Programming in a Post-COVID World
Whether it's in take-home kits, virtual or in-person, it's easy as librarians to get in a rut with programming. We can end up just jumping from theme to theme with programs that are an array of crafts/activities/games, etc. that we've thrown together to occupy the promised amount of time. But what if we structured programming in a new and conscious way? What if we named our programs to be specific and convey purpose? What if in the wake of a post-COVID world we create programming that not only entertains children but enriches their entire childhood, when their childhood needs enriching the most. Let's take a look at some models of programming and reflect on how we can create different experiences for our families. We can shift our perspective from simply deciding what we do programming on, to how we program.
